The Alaska earthquake, March 27, 1964: effects on transportation, communications, and utilities
Malcolm H. Logan, Lynn R. Burton, Edwin B. Eckel, Reuben Kachadoorian, David S. McCulloch, Manuel G. Bonilla
1967, Professional Paper 545
This is the forth in a series of six reports that the U.S. Geological Survey published on the results of a comprehensive geologic study that began, as a reconnaissance survey, within 24 hours after the March 27, 1964, Magnitude 9.2 Great Alaska Earthquake and extended, as detailed investigations, through several...
Devonian rocks of the Yukon-Porcupine Rivers area and their tectonic relation to other Devonian sequences in Alaska
Michael Churkin Jr., Earl E. Brabb
1967, Conference Paper, International Symposium of the Devonian system: Papers
Devonian rocks along the Yukon River near the Alaska-Yukon boundary comprise 250 feet of limestone and shale and 800 feet of chert and siliceous shale, all referred to the McCann Hill Chert of Early to Late Devonian age; about 3,000 feet of non-marine chert-pebble conglomerate, graywacke, and shale of...
Viscosity and finite strength of the mantle as determined from water and ice loads
Max D. Crittenden Jr.
1967, Geophysical Journal International (14) 261-279
Some recent examples of transient Earth loads (Lake Bonneville, Utah; Glacier Bay, Alaska; northeast Greenland) indicate that both the viscosity and finite strength of the mantle are lower than is commonly presumed. A time constant (1/e) of 4000 years is estimated for Lake Bonneville, and of 1000 years for...
Post-paleozoic radiometric ages and their relevance to fault movements, Northern Southeastern Alaska
R. A. Loney, David A. Brew, Marvin A. Lanphere
1967, GSA Bulletin (78) 511-526
Recently determined lead-alpha and potassium-argon ages from northern southeastern Alaska indicate major plutonic events in the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Tertiary; in contrast, previous studies suggested that only one complex Jurassic and Cretaceous event occurred. The ages presented in this paper indicate the following Mesozoic and Tertiary plutonic events: Middle or...
The Alaska earthquake of 1964
W. R. Hansen
1967, Nature (215) 348-351
Now that the dust has settled it is possible to assess the long term effects of the Alaskan earthquake on March 27, both on the activities of man and on the wild life of the State....
Geomagnetic polarity epochs: Nunivak Island, Alaska
A. Cox, G. B. Dalrymple
1967, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (3) 173-177
New paleomagnetic and potassium-argon dating measurements have been made of basalt flows from Nunivak Island, Alaska, with the following results. (1) The best estimate of the age of the Brunhes/Matuyama polarity epoch boundary is found to be 0.694 m.y. (2) The best...
The Alaska earthquake, March 27, 1964: effects on hydrologic regimen
Roger M. Waller, R. W. Coble, Austin Post, Arthur McGarr, Robert C. Vorhis
1966, Professional Paper 544
This is the fourth in a series of six reports that the U.S. Geological Survey published on the results of a comprehensive geologic study that began, as a reconnaissance survey, within 24 hours after the March 27, 1964, Magnitude 9.2 Great Alaska Earthquake and extended, as detailed investigations, through several...

Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, in the Copper River Basin area, Alaska
Oscar J. Ferrians Jr.
1966, Professional Paper 543-E
The Copper River Basin area is in south-central Alaska and covers 17,800 square miles. It includes most of the Copper River Basin and parts of the surrounding Alaska Range and the Talkeetna, Chugach, and Wrangell Mountains. On March 27, 1964, shortly after 5:36 p.m. Alaska standard time, a great earthquake having...
Effects of the March 1964 Alaska earthquake on the hydrology of the Anchorage area, Alaska
Roger M. Waller
1966, Professional Paper 544-B
The Anchorage hydrologic system was greatly affected by the seismic shock. Immediate but temporary effects included increased stream discharge, seiche action on lakes, and fluctuations in ground-water levels. Generally, ground-water levels were residually lowered after the initial period of fluctuation. This lowering is attributed either to changes in the discharge...
Effects of the March 1964 Alaska earthquake on the hydrology of south-central Alaska
Roger M. Waller
1966, Professional Paper 544-A
The earthquake of March 27, 1964, greatly affected the hydrology of Alaska and many other parts of the world. Its far-reaching effects were recorded as water-level fluctuations in gages operated on water wells and streams. The close-in effects were even more striking, however; sediment-laden ground water erupted at the surface,...
Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, at Valdez, Alaska
Henry Welty Coulter, Ralph R. Migliaccio
1966, Professional Paper 542-C
Valdez is situated on the seaward edge of a large outwash delta composed of a thick section of saturated silty sand and gravel. The earthquake of March 27, 1964, triggered a massive submarine slide, involving approximately 98 million cubic yards of material that destroyed the harbor facilities and nearshore installations....
Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, in the Homer area, Alaska
Roger M. Waller, Kirk W. Stanley
1966, Professional Paper 542-D
The March 27, 1964, earthquake shook the Homer area for about 3 minutes. Land effects consisted of a 2- to 6-foot subsidence of the mainland and Homer Spit, one earthflow at the mouth of a canyon, several landslides on the Homer escarpment and along the sea bluffs, and minor fissuring...
Gravity survey and regional geology of the Prince William Sound epicentral region, Alaska
J. E. Case, D.F. Barnes, George Plafker, S. L. Robbins
1966, Professional Paper 543-C
Sedimentary and volcanic rocks of Mesozoic and early Tertiary age form a roughly arcuate pattern in and around Prince William Sound, the epicentral region of the Alaska earthquake of 1964. These rocks include the Valdez Group, a predominantly slate and graywacke sequence of Jurassic and Cretaceous age, and the Orca...
